Calgary security company comments on tricky balance in their jobs

Forestry-based economies at risk
Bone chilling temperatures, well-tuned, razor-sharp chainsaws and hours spent freezing on a snowmobile. These are just a few of the experiences I've encountered in the long days and hard nights' battle against the mountain pine beetle in Alberta.
